Simon Katich has announced his retirement from first-class cricket in Australia, ending a Sheffield Shield career that spanned 16 seasons for Western Australia and New South Wales.Katich, 36, will play on for Hampshire this year and his decision leaves the door open to continue his county career if he chooses to do so next year. He has also committed to playing for the Perth Scorchers in the Champions League Twenty20 later this year but said in a statement that with a young family and a desire for extended time at home, he had decided to reassess his priorities.Just over 12 months ago, Katich was considered an important member of the Test side but he was the primary victim of a move for change following the 2010-11 Ashes debacle. Katich lost his Cricket Australia contract last year and with it any realistic chance of adding to his 56 Tests, especially after he lashed out at the way Australian cricket was run during a frank press conference.His replacement at the top of the order, Phillip Hughes, was unable to hold his place but Katich was not called on again, and the Australians are now using a David Warner-Ed Cowan opening partnership in Test cricket. Katich will leave the game having scored 4188 Test runs at 45.03, while he can still add to his first-class tally of 19,667 runs this county season.A long-time captain of New South Wales after moving from Western Australia, Katich lost the state leadership last summer as the Blues looked to blood younger leaders. However, he kept scoring runs for New South Wales and made 483 at 43.90 in the Sheffield Shield last season.

Torcida enche o Morumbi e registra segunda melhor média da história

MatériaMais Notícias

Embalada pelos bons resultados da equipe do técnico Diego Aguirre, a torcida do São Paulo tem seguido na mesma toada do time e registrado números expressivos nas arquibancadas. Depois de colocar 49. 348 pessoas no Morumbi no último domingo, contra o Fluminense, os tricolores alcançaram sua segunda melhor média de público de toda a história do clube.

Nesta temporada, somando as 23 partidas do São Paulo em seu estádio 668.722 pagaram ingresso para acompanhar o Tricolor. Na média, a equipe do Morumbi tem 29. 075 torcedores por jogo. Os números apenas não são superiores aos registrados na temporada passada, quando o time brigou contra o rebaixamento e teve uma média de 33.635 pessoas por partida.

– Nosso torcedor está fechado com o time, demonstra isso a cada jogo e nos fortalece em casa. E tentamos aproveitar este apoio para conquistar os resultados positivos no Morumbi. Infelizmente não conseguimos derrotar o Fluminense, que era o nosso objetivo, mas diante das circunstâncias e incentivado pelo torcedor nós conseguimos pontuar – afirmou o zagueiro Bruno Alves, um dos jogadores mais utilizados do atual elenco tricolor.

Apesar dos bons números, a tendência é de que o São Paulo tenha dificuldades para repetir os do ano passado , quando colocou mais de 1 milhão de torcedores em suas partidas como mandante. Como o time foi eliminado da Copa do Brasil e da Copa Sul-Americana precocemente, há apenas mais 8 jogos no Morumbi. Para repetir a marca, o Tricolor precisa colocar, em média, mais de 40 mil por jogo.

Starc eased in during old-fashioned draw

Yorkshire’s match with Hampshire fizzled out on the final day as rain ensured a draw

Yorkshire may well have made a public declaration of their desire to play attacking cricket in the aftermath of last week’s stunning victory at Bristol but sometimes even the most cavalier of intentions are defeated by the weather and their draw against Hampshire resulted in a more old-fashioned finish.As final days go, there could not have been a bigger contrast between the thrills and spills of Yorkshire’s successful chase of 400 and the sedate close to play at Headingley, with both sides seeming to accept little chance of a positive result almost as soon as bad light and drizzle delayed the start until 12.30pm, losing 24 overs from the day’s allocation.The time lost ensured a traditional final-day’s fare without the prospect of either county winning, and both sides were happy to go through the motions once Hampshire resumed 49 runs ahead on 21 for 1. Yorkshire did make some impression on the scoreboard, Iain Wardlaw finding Jimmy Adams’ edge shortly after a delayed lunch, but otherwise both teams played out time.Hampshire grumbled about the timing of Yorkshire’s declaration the previous day, with captain Adams claiming: “It could have kept more options open if they had declared earlier, but we had to concentrate on our own game to bowl them out and, unfortunately, we weren’t able to do that.” What sort of target Hampshire would have been comfortable setting after the pyrotechnics of Bristol is also open to speculation.Yorkshire were happy to rotate their bowlers, and indeed used seven in total during a day’s play which must have been frustrating for the handful of spectators, who at least had the chance to witness Jonny Bairstow’s maiden Test innings from the Long Room as a result of the delayed start.Once play did resume, Michael Carberry set the tone by taking 35 minutes to hit his first runs of the day and batting for nearly three hours to finish unbeaten on 61, when both sides accepted the draw with Hampshire 219 runs ahead on 191 for 2.At least those present got their first chance to see Mitchell Starc, the Australia left-arm fast bowler, in a Yorkshire sweater for the first time. Denied the opportunity to make his debut earlier through a visa irregularity, he made his first appearance on 12th-man duties having been discounted from making his debut in this match after a gruelling spell of 14 flights in 12 days.”Mitchell has been training and we just thought it was too much of an ask to play him against Hampshire after all the issues and the amount of travel he’s done,” Jason Gillespie, Yorkshire’s head coach, said. “It wouldn’t have been fair to the lad to come in when you want to try and impress for a new team. I don’t think picking him for this match would have given him the best chance to succeed.”He’s a great lad who works incredibly hard and brings that X-factor. He has genuine pace and he can bowl 90mph and swing the ball and anyone who bowls that pace and swings it is going to be a dangerous customer.”Instead, 22-year-old Starc will make his debut in Sunday’s CB40 match against Derbyshire Falcons at Headingley – the first of three such matches in the next week – before making his first Championship start at home to Northamptonshire in a fortnight.Yorkshire are still to determine how long Starc will be at their disposal following his call-up to the Australia A squad to tour England later this summer. Assuming he is not also required for a pre-tour training camp, Starc will definitely miss three Championship matches, up to four CB40 games and a T20 quarter-final, should Yorkshire qualify, so he is keen to maximise his involvement with Yorkshire while he can.”It’s been a bit of back and forth but I’m glad to be here now,” Starc said. “I’ve had a few sessions with the seconds and hopefully I can get out there and play a bit of cricket tomorrow. When I finally got here and got settled the sleeping patterns weren’t too bad. I’m a little bit fatigued but sleeping wise I’m pretty good. I’m just glad to be here, running around and I’m raring to go.”

آس: برشلونة يتلقى ضربة قوية بعد خروجه من الدوري الأوروبي

تلقى فريق برشلونة الإسباني، ضربة قوية أخرى، بعدما ودع منافسات الدوري الأوروبي، مساء أمس الخميس، بعد الخسارة أمام مانشستر يونايتد بهدفين مقابل هدف، على ملعب أولد ترافورد.

وبحسب صحيفة آس الإسبانية، فإن برشلونة واصل نتائجه السيئة في أوروبا، ليخسر 14.4 مليون يورو، كان من الممكن أن يضعها في حسابه من هذه البطولة، لكنه لم يصل للمباراة النهائية.

وخسر برشلونة إمكانية حصد ما قد يصل إلى 52.7 مليون يورو من دوري أبطال أوروبا (9.9 في حال التأهل لدور 16، 10.6 في ربع النهائي، 12.5 في نصف النهائي، 15.5 في حال الوصول إلى النهائي و4.5 إضافية بعد لعب المباراة النهائية).

وفي الدوري الأوروبي، خسر إمكانية ربح 14.4 مليون، حيث كان سيحصل على 1.2 مليون لكونه في دور الـ16، و1.8 لكونه من بين الثمانية المتأهلين لربع النهائي، و2.8 لكونه في الدور نصف النهائي؛ وأخيرًا 4.6 لكونه متأهلاً للنهائي و4 ملايين آخرين لكونه بطلًا.

كان برشلونة يعوّل كثيرًا على هذه الأموال، لتساعده في الأزمة الاقتصادية الحالية، والتي منعت النادي من استقدام لاعبين جدد أو في معاناته في تسجيل أحد اللاعبين، بسبب قواعد اللعب المالي النظيف، والتي وضعها خافيير تيباس رئيس رابطة الدوري الإسباني.

Our target is to be champions – Shakib

Shakib Al Hasan was bullish about Bangladesh’s chances in the Asia Cup

Fans in Sri Lanka may still be coming to terms with the narrow defeat in the CB series finals, those in India may still be coming to terms with the retirement of one of their greatest batsmen, but for fans in Bangladesh, the Asia Cup can’t start soon enough. Tickets went on sale four days ago, and the response has been hearteningly enthusiastic.Another sign of the fervour for the tournament was in evidence at Shakib Al Hasan’s press conference today. It was a routine pre-match media interaction, but a horde of around 70 reporters, photographers and cameramen, a large proportion being locals, filled out the press conference hall at the Shere Bangla stadium.The zeal for cricket remains high though it has been a dispiriting 12 months for Bangladesh cricket, with many reverses after the high hopes going into the 2011 World Cup. Shakib was bullish about Bangladesh’s chances in the Asia Cup. “Our target? To be the champions,” he said. “We want to play our best cricket, though we are not able to do it all the time. It is possible at home. This tournament is a good place for us to know where we stand in world cricket at the moment.”There hasn’t been any international cricket in Bangladesh for three months, but Shakib felt the Bangladesh Premier League had made them ready for the Asia Cup. “We had very good preparation, not as a team, but in domestic competitions. If we play to our potential, I’m hopeful we can do well.”Bangladesh were swept aside by Pakistan in the one-dayers three months ago. Their only victory over Pakistan remains the famous one in the 1999 World Cup. “We haven’t won against Pakistan for a long time but in the last series we had a good chance in the third ODI,” Shakib said. “We did well in the second Test. This is an opportunity to prove ourselves.”Pakistan’s success in that series, and over the past year, has been built on their troika of tweakers – Mohammad Hafeez, Saeed Ajmal and Shahid Afridi. “Their three spinners will be a challenge for our batsmen,” Shakib said. “If we can put up a reasonable total, our bowling can hold the opposition.”Besides strong opponents, Bangladesh have to deal with plenty of off-field issues as well. The naming of their captain for the Asia Cup was delayed by a day, prompting speculation that perhaps Mushfiqur Rahim would be punished for his disparaging remarks about the BPL. The drama over the exclusion of one their best batsmen, Tamim Iqbal, lasted several days, revealing a dispute between the chief selector and the board president that has now been resolved, at least temporarily, after the prime minister’s intervention.Hasn’t all this affected the team’s focus? Shakib vehemently denied it. “We have not discussed the issues in the dressing room so it won’t distract us in any way with regards to our preparation in this tournament.”Bangladeshi fans retain a craving for cricket despite the regular defeats and the many controversies. An early victory for Bangladesh will be reward for their perseverance, and also the shock the tournament needs to lift its profile outside the host nation.Edited by Abhishek Purohit

'Sabíamos que era importante', diz Ricardo Oliveira sobre vitória do Galo

MatériaMais Notícias

Autor dos dois gols que culminaram na vitória do Atlético-MG por 3 a 1 sobre o Santos, em partida válida pela 18ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro, o atacante Ricardo Oliveira chegou a marca de 18 bolas na rede em 37 jogos disputados com a camisa alvinegra. Após o confronto, o jogador de 38 anos garantiu que a idade não é problema, mas revelou que o segredo para manter o bom desempenho em campo está no trabalho físico e mental que realiza.

– Eu sou trabalho puro, trabalho puro. Sou um cara de muita fé e não desisto nunca. Jamais vou deixar de acreditar no meu potencial, naquilo que sou capaz de fazer. Exercito tanto o físico, quanto o mental para superar as dificuldades da idade, que isso é normal e não me afeta em nada, e as dificuldades dos adversários dentro do campo. Acho que é isso.

O jogador iniciou a partida um pouco apagado em campo e parecia ter relaxado após Elias abrir o placar com apenas sete minutos de jogo. Entretanto, o empate santista, que veio com gol de Gabriel apenas vinte minutos depois, despertou o camisa 9, que balançou as redes em duas oportunidades no segundo tempo, garantindo a vitória atleticana no Horto.

– Foi fundamental para nós essa vitória, esse apoio do torcedor, num sol quente. A gente se dedicando… Sabíamos que era muito importante vencer hoje. Não poderíamos falhar hoje. Graças a Deus, conseguimos essa vitória.

A vitória é de grande importância para o Galo, que entrou em campo ameaçado pelo risco de encerrar a rodada fora da zona de classificação para a Libertadores após desempenhos irregulares na retomada da liga brasileira depois da Copa do Mundo. Com o resultado deste domingo, o Atlético-MG permanece na quarta colocação da tabela, com 30 pontos.

– A gente sabia que estávamos em dívida com o nosso torcedor. Eles vieram, nos incentivaram, cobraram bastante, porque faz parte da história desse clube, dessa paixão do nosso torcedor. E demos para eles um ótimo domingo, uma vitória importante. Sabíamos que estávamos em falta com o nosso torcedor. Nós sabemos disso, nós temos autocrítica, sabemos que não estamos fazendo um pós-Copa bom. Espero que seja um divisor de águas para nós nessa competição essa vitória de hoje – finalizou Ricardo Oliveira.

سبورت: برشلونة يجهز مكافأة خاصة لـ تشافي

بدأ نادي برشلونة في التجهيز لمكافأة خاصة للمدير الفني للفريق الأول لكرة القدم، تشافي هيرنانديز، بعد وضع العملاق الكتالوني على الطريق الصحيح محليًا وقاريًا.

ويتصدر برشلونة بطولة الدوري الإسباني إلى جانب المنافسة على لقب الدوري الأوروبي والوصول إلى نصف نهائي كأس ملك إسبانيا والفوز بلقب كأس السوبر الإسباني.

وبحسب صحيفة “سبورت” الكتالونية أن إدارة برشلونة بقيادة، خوان لابورتا، ترغب في تجديد عقد تشافي رغم استمراره حتى 30 يونيو 2024.

لن ينتظر برشلونة كثيرًا حتى نهاية الموسم للتوصل لاتفاق مع تشافي حول تجديد عقده، حيث تريد الإدارة فرض حالة من الاستقرار التام لتهيئة الأجواء أمام الفريق الأول لحصد البطولات.

يريد برشلونة الحصول على الألقاب المحلية مثل الدوري الإسباني وكأس ملك إسبانيا ولكن لا ينسون لقب الدوري الأوروبي رغم صعوبة المواجهة أمام مانشستر يونايتد والتعادل في “كامب نو” بنتيجة 2-2 ذهابًا قبل الإياب يوم، الخميس، في ملعب “أولد ترافورد”.

لابورتا يرغب في السير على نفس النهج الذي كان عليه خلال فترته الأولى مع برشلونة من 2003 حتى 2010 عندما درب الفريق فقط مدربين هما فرانك ريكارد وبيب جوارديولا، والآن سيكون تشافي ومن قبله رونالد كومان في بداية عهد المحامي الشهير في المدينة الكتالونية. أرقام تشافي مع برشلونة في الموسم الحالي

قاد تشافي الفريق في 34 مباراة حتى الآن، فاز في 26 وتعادل في 4 وخسر في مثلهم وحقق بطولة وحيدة وهي كأس السوبر الإسباني على حساب ريال مدريد في السعودية.

Renovação de Jadson por dois anos com o Corinthians está apalavrada

MatériaMais Notícias

Com contrato com o Corinthians apenas até o fim desta temporada, o meia Jadson está perto de prorrogar seu vínculo por mais dois anos. A renovação está “apalavrada”, como revelou o presidente Andrés Sanchez.

– Apalavrado está, mas ele não assinou, nem eu. A janela está aberta ele pode ir embora também, é mais um que pode ser vendido a qualquer momento – disse Andrés, após a vitória por 2 a 0 sobre o Botafogo, na noite desta quarta-feira.

Aos 34 anos, Jadson já havia reforçado em diversas entrevistas a vontade renovar seu contrato com o Corinthians. Seu empresário se reuniu com a diretoria do Timão na semana passada.

O meia está em sua segunda passagem pelo Corinthians. Ele soma 179 jogos e 43 gols. Jadson chegou ao clube pela primeira vez em 2014, na troca envolvendo a ida de Alexandre Pato para o São Paulo. No Timão, conquistou quatro títulos: dois paulistas (2017 e 2018) e dois brasileiros (2015 e 2017).
